So manipulating the speed of your footage
can be an art form in itself.

And in this lesson, I'm

going to be walking
you guys through all the different ways

that you can do that
with individual resolve.

These are really, really cool features.

So with that being said, let's jump
into Da Vinci and start this lesson.

So I have a timeline here with two clips
that I shot recently.

One is of this seal riding a wave.

He's vibing, having the time of his life,

and then this other one is of a dirt biker
jumping over me.

This is actually shot on a phone
as well at 4K 60 frames per second.

Both of these clips are shot at 4K
60 frames per second.

So I'm just going to zoom in
and focus on this first clip right here.

So both of these clips
are currently playing at 100% speed.

So they are real time.

Now, let's say I wanted to slow down this
clip to the slowest possible frame rate.

What I can do is first
make sure that I know what frame rate

this was shot out so I can hit PE
and it shows me that this is shot

at 59.9 $0.04 is just the Raven Cloud
shortcut for clip attributes.

You can also just right
click and select clip attributes

wherever that is right there.

So because this clip was shot at 60 frames
per second,

we know that the maximum percentage
we can slow this down by is 40%.

So let's press R on the keyboard to access
the change clip speed window here

and we can change the speed here to 40%.

We can also change the frame rate
that we wanted to playback out here.

And what I always do is make sure
that ripple sequence is selected.

This will basically allow us
to see the full length of the clip

and it won't get cut off by the clip
next to it.

So I'll just select that change
and we can see that

it expanded the clip because it slowed it
down.

It's going to be longer in length,

but it also pushed the next clip
over to the right as well.

Let's just see what would happen
if we don't have ripple sequence selected.

So let's just changes to 40%.

Click.

Okay.

And now the clip stayed the same length
and that's because we didn't have ripple

sequence selected.
So I'm just going to command Z.

We can press R again, make sure Ripple is
selected and changed just like that.

Now we are playing back the clip at 40%.

Let's play it back

and this looks good.

Now let's say that

we didn't
want this entire clip to be slowed down.

We only want this one moment here

where we can clearly visibly
see the seal to be slowed down.

We don't want the whole thing to be slowed
down.

Command R shows us our re time
controls on the selected clip.

So now we have this little arrow line here
and this shows us

that the clip is playing forwards

and down here we have this percentage
shows us that it's playing at 100%.

Now I'm going to show you guys
this method, just so you know,

this is an option,
but this is not the way that I do it.

But this is how a lot of people teach it.

I don't think it's the most fast

and efficient way to do it,
but this is an option.

You can bring your play head to where
you want things to start slowing down.

So let's choose like right here

and you can press this arrow here
and you can add a speed point.

Unfortunately, right now
there is no shortcut to add a speed point.

I'm sure that DaVinci
will update that in the future,

and let's choose a point
in which we want things to speed up again.

So let's say right here
so we can add another speed point here.

Now we have these two speed points.

Now we have some handles
on these speed points.

We have one in the top part of the clip
and we have one in the bottom

part of the clip.

Now, when we drag the speed points
in the bottom of the clip,

they're basically just going to change
where the speed points sit on our clip.

It's not actually affecting the speed
anywhere.

Now we can see that the clip is separated
into three different parts.

We have this area here, this area
here in this area here,

those areas are basically divided
by these speed points.

And we can see that each
one of these areas is able to be change.

We can change the speed of each
one of these areas.

So let's say we wanted to change the speed
in between these two speed points here.

I can click the dropdown
here, change speed, I can select 25%.

Now we can see we're at 100% here,

then we go to 25%, then we go to 100%.

If we play this, it's going to be abrupt.

It's going to be choppy
because we're slowing it down below 40%.

We're skipping
frames, we're missing some frames.

It's slowing it down
below 24 frames per second.

So it doesn't look smooth.

Now I'm just going to hit
Command Z on that.

So what we can also do is grab the handles
at the top of the speed points

here and move those around.

Now when we do that,
we can see that the speed is actually

changing
in between both these speed points.

So remember the bottom one,
the bottom handle is just to move

the actual speed point.

It's not affecting the speed anywhere.

The top one will affect the speed.

So these are just two ways
that we can move

and manipulate
these speed points around in our clip.

I actually really like
the way that this works

because we can very easily
just move the speed point

to a different place
if we don't like where it's at.

And then move the top part
to actually change the speed.

We can see the speed
changing in between here.

Now I'm going to hit
Command Z and just undo all of that.

Let's bring our clip back
to its original position.

Now, remember, we hit Command Arch.

You access our re time controls here.

If we press it again, it'll disappear.

Now, the way that I like
to make these kind of speed changes in

my clips is to press command R
and then command shift R.

This brings us the curve editor down here
and we have re time frame selected.

Now what we can do to very quickly add
those speed points up here

instead of going here and pressing
add speed point each time we can just hold

option or alt on our keyboard
and click on this graph down here.

So I'm going to select
that endpoint there out point here and now

we've created those speed points up top
and now just like before,

we can make that change however we want,
we can move the speed points,

we can change the speed
between the speed points and now

we're going 100% to 40% back to 100%.

That looks pretty cool,
except it's an abrupt change.

We can see that it's going from 100%

right here
and then it's going immediately to 40%.

So it's like, you know, driving a car

and then you hit the brakes right away.

Even even in a car,
you gradually get to that speed.

This isn't gradual. This is immediate.

And most of the time
that doesn't look good.

I basically never make speed
changes like that.

So what we're going want to do is select
the keyframes down here.

These little dots that we've selected,
these are basically the speed points

just on a graph here.

And basically what we can do down
here is change

how these keyframes are transitioning
from one speed to another.

So if we have this first one selected
here, we can press this button here

and it allows us to create a bit
of a curve from that 100% to the 40%.

Same thing for the second keyframe
we can select it hit this button

right here and it will create a smooth
transition between 40% and 100%.

And when we make that change
to the keyframe, we change it from linear

to a curve.

It gives us these handles here,
which we can drag out and inwards

to basically change
the duration of that transition here.

So if we want the transition from 40%
to 100%

to be very slow, will bring these handles
in close together.

If we want it to be more gradual, then
we're going to want to extend them out

and we can play with both of these here.

Now, if we go to the start of our clip,
we press play.

We can see that
we've gradually slowed down

and we're gradually speeding up again.

That looks really nice.

And you can do this to your clip
as many times as you want.

So let's say we want to slow it down
again. Over here.

I can hold alt or option on the keyboard,
select

the line on the graph here
at another speed point.

So now let's slow down
this last section of the clip to 40%.

Now we can see that
we don't have another speed point here

so that we can expand this
and slow it down.

So what we can do
is actually grab the top of our clip here

because we have our re time controls on
that's command R and we could show you

I can show you again.

I could turn it off, turn it back on.

It gives us this bar at the top.

And if we select the side of the bar
on either side,

we can drag it out
and it will change the speed of the clip.

We can see that
we're changing it down here.

Now, I'm going to push this other clip
over.

Let's bring this to 40%,
because that's the maximum

we can slow it down
and let's smooth out this last keyframe

as well by pressing this button here,
we can move the handles out a bit.

Now, I'm limited to how much I can move
these handles out

because the handle here
is already going this far.

So this handle is limited by this handle
from this keyframe

so we can shorten this one out,

extend that one.

Now if we play it back, it's
going from fast to slow.

Too fast to slow
and that looks really beautiful.

I would say that that's like a really,
really good way of showcasing this clip.

Now, obviously showing the real time
controls here and the Curve

editor down here,
it takes up more space in our timeline.

So at any point we can just press command
R to hide the re time controls

and command shift R to hide
that graph at the bottom there as well.

And just because it's hidden doesn't mean
that the speed effects aren't applied.

They're still applied,
everything is still the same.

You just can't see those re time controls.

And if you ever want to bring them
back, command

R Command shift
R And we're able to see all of that again.

Now when we press command shift
R on the keyboard,

it defaults to showing us the re time
frame inside of the curve.

Editor not re time speed.

So this is just one little issue
that I have with this re time process.

I'd rather it default to re time speed
and that's something that I'm

bringing up to DaVinci.

I'm hoping that they can allow us
to just change the, the default option

that it goes to,
but you can just go in here and manually

click re time speed
so that you have that selected

and that will just give us a different
view of our speed change in our clip.

So in the re time speed graph,
it's pretty much the same thing.

We're just viewing the graph
in a different way.

And one thing to note
when we're viewing our graph in here,

sometimes, you know,
if we're making dramatic speed changes,

let's say
we want to change the speed here to 200%

and this first part to

like 400%.

Our graph can sometimes go up

above the space provided here.

So you know what?

If we want to see the start here, we can't
because this line goes up above this.

What we can do is change the percent scale

of this curve editor here

simply by clicking on this number either
in the top right or the top left here,

and we can scale things down
or scale them up

so that we can get a better visual of

what's going on in this graph area here.

We can also change the numbers down here
in the bottom left and bottom right

to just change the way
that we're seeing that graph as well.

Now let's say we want to remove
all of these speed change effects on here.

What we can do is hit command shift X
and that brings us

the remove attributes window.

Or you can just right
click and select remove attributes,

but that's takes a lot longer.

Ravenclaw Shortcut Command Shift X

and what we can do in here is select
read time effects.

So we want to remove all the re
time effects so we can make sure

that that's selected and we can also
ripple the sequence as well. So,

you know, if we're removing all of these
effects, the clip is going to shrink.

And if we want everything else

in our timeline to move with it,
we can select ripple sequence.

In this case, we don't need it.

So we'll just click apply and we can see
our clip is back to its original speed.

It's as though we didn't make any changes.

I mean, to hit
command R command shift R to hide it.

And we're back where we started.
